OCEAN OF EMOTIONS

Every feeling has a story. Every story deserves words.

I don’t know how to tell you that I’m sad
That I'm breaking and I'm mad
I don't know how to tell you I'm struggling
That I'm hurting and that I can't
I don't know how to tell you I'm in pain
That I'm scared and that my heart aches
I've never been the type to share these feelings
I consider them my weaknesses
And sharing my weakness wouldn't help anyone
I can only help you build faith
Whilst my reality breaks me
I can only help you believe in your dreams
Whilst my dreams hide in the dark
I can only tell you to trust the timing
Whilst I panic that my time has passed
I can only tell you that God will show you the way
Whilst I'm scared that I've pushed HIM away
And even as I drown in my ocean of emotions
I keep my waters from entering your ship
I'm under deep waters but my faith is my strength
If I let my waters into your ship you might drown
So I'm this girl
In a ruined ship
And as the ocean threatens to sink my ship
I have a bowl
With it I fetch out the water from my ship quickly
And I pour it back into the ocean
I'm weary and it's hopeless
Feeding what's sinking me because that’s the only way I don't sink instantly
This faith, this fire burning in my heart
Pushing me to keep going
And as I feel I can't any longer, I'm filled with new strength
Praying that I'll be provided with the right resources to save myself from drowning or maybe with hands folded
Someone who will save me from this ship and put me on a new one because this ship seems broken beyond repair and the waves keep getting worse
In the midst of all this I'm still able to find my faith
The source of my constant strength supply
And I believe that along with this ship being repaired or a new ship entirely, I'll sail on calm waters one day.
